The 42 FJ Fits My Mixed Routes

The tubeless tyres suit the way my routes change during the week, from smooth roads to rough patches without much warning. I can keep riding without giving every change in surface too much thought. Bluetooth connectivity brings a completely different side to the 42 FJ. When I head somewhere unfamiliar, I can stay connected for navigation instead of pulling out my phone at every turn. I like having a motorcycle that works with both the road and the way I travel.
